Passive IR sensor

👋Hi, I have discussed about basic of Infrared. If you not seen it Click the below link Introduction to IR Sensor . This blog talks about Passive IR sensor. Let us start with basic example to known about Passive IR sensor. We all Seen digital thermometer in hospital to measure the body temperature. Let us understand the working of Thermometer. WORKING: The digital thermometer which uses photodiode which is sensitive to infrared light only and produce electrical signal depending on the amount of Infrared. Infrared light are scattered from body and we need to focus the infrared into the photodiode. The radiation focused on lens not only contains IR also other radiation were removed using filter. The electrical signal generated is directly proportional to heat of the object. MEDICAL APPLICATION: *Non contact temperature measurement OTHER APPLICATION : There is a sensor called PIR sensor for detecting motion. This is also work on same principle but it u...
